<p>can i double major in marshall and school of cinema-tv?</p>
<p>I believe that is certainly possible.</p>
<p>USC also has a joint program that you may want to look into that means students take classes in both Marshall and the School of Cinematic Arts. Ultimately you receive a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Cinematic Arts.</p>
<p>Have a look: [USC</a> Marshall Degree Program Joint Programs](<a href=“http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprograms/degrees/joint-programs.htm]USC”>http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprograms/degrees/joint-programs.htm)</p>
<p>OP- here is an old thread about the BCA joint program- post #15 includes a quote from a friend who was doing the program-
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/657819-business-double-major.html?highlight=cinematic+arts[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/657819-business-double-major.html?highlight=cinematic+arts</a></p>
<p>That may be pretty tough, because I’m in the BCA program and as it is, I really don’t have much room for electives and I’m technically just a Business Major with an emphasis in Cinema - not a double major. I’m not 100 percent sure, of course, but the BCA program is pretty tight if you can get it and I would recommend it!</p>
<p>BCA is definitely the EASIEST way to get something like that in. And it is possible, but the two programs are 2 of the most structured programs at USC. My roommate was considering it, but it would have taken him 5 years, so I think he’s doing just Production and a minor in Business instead.</p>
<p>It depends on what you want to do. It’s impossible to do a double major in business and production in 4 years. It just doesn’t work out. Critical studies and business might work, but I don’t know how valuable the combination would be. The BCA program is great but it is a business degree with a film minor (except the classes you take from the film department are more geared to the business of film). </p>
<p>If you get into production, I wouldn’t trade it for a BCA degree if filmmaking is your ultimate goal, unless you are more interested in working at a studio or having an executive’s job (these jobs have very little to do with film making). If you get into production I would minor in business. The business minor has a great core, and covers a lot of what the BCA program covers on the business side and still lets you go through the production sequence. It’s a big minor though, so you have to look into it and see if it works for you.</p>
<p>Is it possible to major in BCA and minor in something like production or screenwriting, even if it takes five years?</p>
<p>BCA is SUPER quantitative, check out the course map ([USC</a> Marshall Degree Program Joint Programs](<a href=“http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprograms/degrees/joint-programs.htm]USC”>http://www.marshall.usc.edu/undergradprograms/degrees/joint-programs.htm)) yourself. I don’t think you can minor in production, don’t quote me though, but I think you can actually be in BCA and have enough free credits to minor in screenwriting because it’s only a 16-credit minor.</p>
<p>Oh, okay thanks!
I asked about the minor in Cinematic Arts because I noticed that the gateway course requirements, CTCS 190 and 191, were both on the BCA course map.</p>
<p>I’m in BCA and I’m planning on doing a screenwriting minor. It helps if you have (or are) bringing in credits, otherwise, you won’t have time for any other classes besides your BCA ones, and your minor.</p>
